compulsion

«Instead of fulfilling the promise of infinite orgasmic bliss, sex in the America of the feminine mystique is becoming a strangely joyless national compulsion, if not a contemptuous mockery.»
«That they (the powers of heaven) may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover? our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion? or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw? themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved»
«Only work which is the product of inner compulsion can have spiritual meaning.»
Author: Walter Gropius (Architect) | About: Work | Keywords: compulsion, compulsions, product
«Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one's future must be hewn.»
«Right discipline consists, not in external compulsion, but in the habits of mind which lead spontaneously to desirable rather than undesirable activities.»
«Leisure may be defined as free activity, labor as compulsory activity. Leisure does what it likes, labor does what it must, the compulsion being that of Nature, which in these latitudes leaves men no choice between labor and starvation.»
«Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.»
«No trace of slavery ought to mix with the studies of the freeborn man. No study, pursued under compulsion, remains rooted in the memory.»
«Our nature is obscured by work done by the compulsion of want or fear. The mother reveals herself in the service of her children, so our true freedom is not the freedom from action but freedom in action, which can only be attained in the work of love.»
«I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.»
